Filming for the upcoming film “Cowboys and Jesus” that was scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. today at Russellville High School’s Cyclone Stadium has been postponed due to the threat of inclement weather.

Cyclones head coach Jeff Holt said Thursday that filming will be rescheduled for a later date.

“Cowboys and Jesus” is a modern retelling of the biblical prodigal son and was written by Otto Thorwarth and Bo Bullock. Thorwarth starred in Disney’s 2010 feature film “Secretariat” and said he and Bullock co-wrote the film on a car ride back from Hot Springs from Dallas, Texas.

The Russellville Cyclones football team was slated to play a 1980s football team on the cusp of a state championship.
